I thought this thread was about Janet for a second...
I would not go out of my way to visit Reno, as there is nothing special about it in any respect aside from cheap hotel rates. If you do find yourself staying in Reno, take a scenic drive around Lake Tahoe. The temperature could be above 70° in Reno but yet snowing up in the mountains by Lake Tahoe. Better yet, stay in Lake Tahoe and take a day trip to Reno. There is more to do in Lake Tahoe. Even if you do not feel like doing anything, the scenery is usually much better.
You may want to visit Carson City, the capital of Nevada. I only stayed in Reno because I had to do business in Carson City. There is nothing special about it either, but parts of it do look like an old western town.
